I have a wide variety of makeup brands immy makeup kit nd I was wondering how important is it to switch makeup to gluten-free. I did by different shampoo and conditioner. it is biolage i don't think there is gluten in it. I haven't switched makeup yet though because I have to find gluten-free brands. Has everyone switched all their makeup or do some people still use whatever?

I waited until I got my Enterolab test results back and as soon as I got them and saw that they were positive...I switched everything to gluten-free.

I actually didnt have to change that much after calling all the companies there were only a couple things I had to change as far as make-up.

Rachel - What kind of make up products do you buy? I've been researching it a little trying to come up with a brand that doesn't have to purchased online. My husband is the celiac but I thought it might be a good idea for me to go ahead and change my makeup so if he kissed me (even on the cheek) it wouldn't be a problem.

I called all the companies first and verified what was ok and what was not. I ended up only changing my blush to Neutrogena and my lipgloss to Bare Esentuals. Everything else I use is safe. All of the Bare Esentuals stuff is gluten-free if you are interested.

Rachel - Thanks. Can you buy the Bare Escentuals at Department stores or do you buy it online? I was worried about the face powder having gluten. I guess I will call the company and see what they say.

The reason why products matter is because they can easily get into your mouth.

Think about it..if you wash your hands with gluten containing soap and then prepare your food you cross contaminate.

With shampoos, it can easily slide down your face in the water and how often do you touch your hair throughout the day without even thinking about it...that gets gluten on your hands.

With makeups it is the same thing..you touch your face maybe subconsciously to rub your eye or something and then its now on your hands...makeup is obviously the most important because that's right on your mouth

With nail polish biting your nails or making food can make it chip off and get traces in there.

Every angle needs to be looked at because every little bit can and will damage you.

Lipstick and toothpaste and that is a given.

Perfumes and hairsprays are airborne so can get into your digestive tract by breathing in particles.

I love the Bare Escentuals makeup and use alot of that. I like to use natural stuff as much as possible. I also use some of Burt's Bees products. I do use some CoverGirl makeup though as well.

There are some lists available that can help with guidelines for products.

I understand how cross contamination can be a real problem and how what you wash your hands with is important. But what do you do out in public when you wash your hands? I have to go to clients' offices all over town as I'm in sales. This week I used the rest room in three office buildings and of course used their soap - not all gluten-free I'm sure. Do you take your own soap everywhere? Or is some anti-bacterial stuff gluten-free and we should use that after we wash with unknown soaps?

Jennifer,

I got my Bare Esentuals lip gloss at Sephora. Not sure where you live or if you have one near you?? You can also order online. B.E. products are a little pricey though.

Thanks Kaiti! You're always quick with an answer. I'll get some Purell this weekend when getting my non-food gluten-free stuff.

I order my Bare Escentuals from QVC. If you call the BE customer service # at QVC--1-800-345-4492, they will send you a free catalogue. They have one for Fall/Winter and Spring/Summer. If you order from the catalogue, they reduce the shipping to $3.97 for the whole order. I had been using BE foundations, blush etc. since before I had to be gluten-free. Since then, I've switched my mascara and lip products over, too.

Estee Lauder and most of these companies I believe do have some products which arent gluten-free...its always best to call and verify. From what I understand alot of the info in The Gluten Free Bible isn't accurate so again...its always best to double check.

      Hi Colleen Are you supplementing B12/having injections? I have learned recently that sometimes when you start addressing a B12 deficiency, it can temporarily make your symptoms worse. But it is important not to stop the treatment. Regarding your problems with anxiety, again that is another symptom of a B12 deficiency. I didn't know...

      still struggling with cravings

      I totally get this. It's absolutely a grieving process, and it's okay to feel gutted about the loss of those simple joys, especially at 18. Your feelings are completely valid—it's not about being ungrateful for your amazing boyfriend, it's about mourning the life you thought you'd have. That "tortured by the smell" feeling is so real. It does get easier, ...

      Hi Colleen Are you supplementing B12/having injections? I have learned recently that sometimes when you start addressing a B12 deficiency, it can temporarily make your symptoms worse.  But it is important not to stop the treatment.  Regarding your problems with anxiety, again that is another symptom of a B12 deficiency.   I didn't know what anxiety was until it hit me like a train several months before gastrointestinal issues began, so I can certainly relate.   Two books which helped me hugely were At Last A Life by Paul David (there is a website you can look up) and The Depression Cure: The Six-Step Programme to Beat Depression Without Drugs by Dr Steve Llardi.  Although his book is aimed at people who have depression, following the principals he sets out was so helpful in lessening my anxiety.  Llardi suggests we need to focus on getting enough: - physical exercise - omega-3 fatty acids - natural sunlight exposure - restorative sleep - social connectedness - meaningful, engaging activity   ... and we should feel a lot better. That is not to stay you must stop taking medication for depression or anxiety if you have been prescribed it, but adopting the changes Dr Llardi sets out in the book should really help. Can I just ask two more questions:  1) you say that you are B12 deficient, did they test your iron levels too?  If not, you really ought to be checked for deficiency and, 2) did they check your thyroid function, as an overactive thyroid can be cause rapid heartbeat and a lot of coeliacs have thyroid issues?

Im angery because the "celiac specialist " basically lightly dismissed me.Im extremely angery and fighting for a new primary care physician which is hard to do in Northern Cali.So currently without and looking.Im angery that its lightly taken when its extremely serious to the one who has it.My only evidence is a brochure back in the days when I got news letters when I lived at my parents.It was published in 1998.I was diagnosed before any foods eliminated from my diet. Angery doctors don't take seriously when Im clearly speaking.I did write to the medicine of congress and have case number.

Your feelings are completely valid—it's not about being ungrateful for your amazing boyfriend, it's about mourning the life you thought you'd have. That "tortured by the smell" feeling is so real. It does get easier, I promise, but it's okay to sit in the sadness and just vent about how much it stings right now. Thanks for sharing that. Celiac.com has published a book on our site by Jean Duane PhD called Gluten-Centric Culture, which covers many of the social aspects of having celiac disease: This chapter in particular covers issues around eating with family and others - Gluten-Centric Culture: Chapter 5 - Grabbing A Bite Together:
